n planning, the town of Darjeeling is a great asset to the state and also engineering.The British Empire is not present today but the architectural gems that were produced during their rule are still present to give an example of their ingenuity. It also serves as a gateway to Sikkim.

Darjeeling is a politically sensitive area, hence checking the local conditions prior to venturing the hills are essential. Earlier this region was a cluster of Nepalese and Sikkimese villages and the British East India Company converted this settlement into a summer retreat. They leased it from the Sikkimese king and became the founders of this hill station. However, the cultural glory of darjeeling is obvious during the festivals celebrated.

Though there are varied ranges of festivals celebrated, yet Darjeeling culture follows the carnival based of the cultural dance and music. It also conducts a ten day carnival. Darjeeling is prominent as the finest tea producer in the world. The Darjeeling Himalayan train is of great fascination to the tourists as is announced as a world heritage. This train passes through the tea gardens and beautiful hills and takes an elevation to 7000 feet. The cultural glory of Darjeeling and the Darjeeling culture are well maintained and they yet follow their culture. Even during festivals or cultural events, they wear the traditional costume.
